Alan Keyes: "Granting Homosexuals The Right To Marry Is Like Granting Plantation Owners The Right To Own Slaves"

Government
doesn't endow people with the ability to procreate the species. The Creator
takes care of that. Like all unalienable rights, those associated with the
natural family exist in consequence of this endowment. A couple that cannot, by
nature, procreate has no claim to those rights. Nor can government
grant them a semblance of it without impairing the claims of one or both of the parents biologically implicated in
the physical conception of the child. The DOMA simply makes more explicit the
government's obligation to secure the Creator-endowed unalienable rights of the
natural family. This obligation precludes government from fabricating other
rights that impair them. In this respect, granting homosexuals the right to
marry is like granting plantation owners the right to own slaves.
